- Bancone is launching pasta-at-home kits and a new delivery service
Top Soho pasta restaurant Bancone is back and, like other pasta bars, has realised that the best way to deliver is through a set of pasta kits, alongside some antipasti. Alas, there's no sign of their famous "silk handkerchiefs" but we're going to imagine that was a little hard to transport.
Here's what's on the menu:
- Burrata with kale, marinated beetroot & chive
- Dishoom is back delivering keema pau and black daal to Londoners
We can guess that there are plenty of Londoners out there who've been viewing the news about restaurants reopening thinking impatiently, 'Yes, yes - but what about Dishoom?" Well, the wait is over.
From today the restaurants at King’s Cross, Shoreditch and Kensington will be back on Deliveroo with a menu of everyone's favourite Dishoom dishes.
Fans of the Vada Pau, Keema Pau, Chicken Ruby and - crucially - the

First up is Lima at Home. As you can imagine, that's offering up signature Lima dishes to eat... at home. So the menu will feature sea bream or scallop ceviche or slow-braised suckling pig with parsnip &

- Gary Usher launches Elite Bistro At Home - Londoners can now order his food
Here in London, foodies have been worrying about whether they'll be within the right delivery zone for their favourite restaurants. But we hadn't even considered that the rise in delivery might mean we can try food from restaurants outside the City.
For a while now, top chef Gary Usher has been talking about opening a bistro in London. But while that is still to materialise it looks like we'll be getting the chance to try his food

... - Highgate's The Red Lion & Sun bosses lockdown with deliveries starting to local parks
It's always interesting to see how some businesses have adapted to the trying commercial circumstances they find themselves working under during lockdown. One place that seems to have adapted particularly well is the award-winning North London gastropub, The Red Lion and Sun.
From the word go, they diversified into a bottle and keg shop run from the front garden of the Highgate pub. They're also doing a storming line in

One of the few positives of being forced into lockdown is that we're seeing a new streak of inventiveness in some of London's most talented chefs. That certainly seems the case with the launch of brand new delivery kitchen Hot 4 U.
It's been set up by Matthew Scott, head chef of Cub, and Eddy Tejada, previously at St John and Silo - and it's the first time the two have cooked together. They're

- Padella enter the DIY game with cook-at-home pasta kits
The good news is that Padella is going to be doing pasta deliveries from this weekend. The bad news is that, to begin with, you have to be in either Hackney or Islington to avail yourself of the service.
If you do happen to be in either of those boroughs then you can order up one of two pasta kits to cook up at home in less than five minutes. The options are their famous pappardelle beef shin ragu, which Grace
